SUNDAY SERVICES IN OUR CHURCHES FOR MARCH 2021
ZOOM
Services
It is likely that for some weeks it will not be felt wise
to hold services in our churches, and so every Sunday at
10.30 a.m. there will be a single Sunday service on Zoom
for all five High Westmorland Anglican churches.
In addition, every Tuesday at 9.30 a.m. there will be
a short service of Morning Prayer on Zoom. It will
include time to greet each other and chat, and share
topics to pray about together.
To get an invitation to any of these, please email
alunjhurd@gmail.com
Open Churches
Exodus 2:1-10
Colossians 3:12-17 Opening the churches for private prayer on
Wednesdays is also discontinued until further notice.
The Church is People
not buildings! Though we value and love our ancient
buildings, many of us have found worshipping and
meeting online by Zoom very rewarding. Seeing the
faces of fellow-worshippers from all five churches of the
benefice, and sometimes hearing their stories of faith,
has meant a lot to many of us.
If and when we can return to our
church buildings for worship…
WE WILL SEND OUT AN EMAIL

Re-opening of Methodist Churches
At present, all our churches are remaining closed, while we wait for advice from the Government and from the Methodist Church.
When there is a possibility of re-opening, we will be having a conversation with the leaders / members of each church and will
then let you know the outcomes. The Plan has been produced, in the hope that we may be able to start meeting again but we will
have to wait and see! All services are subject to Covid restrictions. In the meantime, we will continue to produce written services,
alongside the ones online. Contact Rev Stephen Radford (017683 71202 - stephen.radford@methodist.org.uk) for details.

Tebay Community Choir
One of the many activities which
have been curtailed over the last
year is choral singing. It is now
nearly a year since Tebay
Community Choir met at the Hub
for a rehearsal. However, although
we are unable to sing together as a
choir, we can still sing at home - the
only thing we're missing is
Michelle's wonderful baking!
Each week a virtual rehearsal is
sent out to members, with a vocal
warm-up activity and some
recordings of songs, often with the
sheet music and/or lyrics attached
so that we can become familiar with
some new songs as well as enjoy
some old favourites. The pieces we
have tried out this way have
included songs from shows,
spirituals, and songs by Lewis
Capaldi and Callum Scott.
New members are always
welcome! If choral singing is

Hot, Cooked Food, delivered locally!
There are several local businesses who deliver hot food to our area, in one case, to your home (for re-
heating at your leisure), and others arriving in a van to serve you where you can come and collect it.
The Link decided to feature some of these, both to encourage such businesses developing their
market in a difficult context, and to inform our local residents where and when they can obtain tasty
food, as a change from home cooking!
Thursdays

This small family-run business is based in North

Orton Surgery and Shap Medical Practice
COVID VACCINATIONS
We are delighted to say that we finished the first
dose vaccinations for our patients who are over 65.
Patients aged 16 to 64 are being called for vaccination
at the moment. Second dose of Covid vaccines for
patients who were vaccinated w/c 21st December will
be on March 11th in Penrith. We will be writing to all
with your allocated appointment time w/c 1st March.
Those vaccinated w/c 11th January 2021 will be
vaccinated with their second dose w/c 22nd March.
Those vaccinated w/c 18th January 021 will receive their
2nd dose w/c 29th March 2021.
We are really keen to vaccinate everyone as quickly
as possible. The number of vaccinations we can give has
been limited by the amount of vaccine delivered so far.
Most vaccine delivered so far has been the Pfizer
vaccine which has difficult transport and storage needs.
(It can only be moved 5 times from the factory in
Europe and has to be stored at -70o) For this reason
most people will be called to the central hub in Penrith
to be vaccinated. We have small amounts of the Oxford
vaccine which are being given to our housebound
patients and those with severe allergies to medication
so can’t have the Pfizer vaccine. For the most up to
date information follow the Eden Primary Care Network
Facebook page as the situation changes quite quickly.
Once again, thank you for all of your support.

BUS SHELTER On Friday 13th March last year I attended the AGM of

don't think that any of us had really taken on board just
how serious the situation was going to become. The
outcome obviously was that no competitions took place
at all, a situation which I believe will only have occurred
during wartime. The impact on all our lives, in many
different ways has been immense and at the present
time we cannot really be sure if or when things may
return to “something like normal”.
Although not identical, wartime is probably the
nearest comparison to what we have experienced
over the last year. I think that I can say without
hesitation that for those of us who have experienced

20£250,000 Cathedral Grant
Carlisle Cathedral’s Fratry Project has been awarded a
£250,000 grant from the Culture Recovery Fund, it was
announced on Friday 19th February).
The money is part of a multi-million pound package of
support issued through the Department for Digital, Culture,
Media and Sport to safeguard cultural and heritage
organisations across the UK from the economic impact of
COVID-19.
The grant will support the long-term future of the Fratry
Project at the Cathedral. Work was completed on the
project – which includes a new exhibition and events space,
café, meeting point and dedicated space available for work
with schools and special interest groups – just as the
country went into the first lockdown.
Website: http://www.shapswimmingpool.co.uk/ The Dean of Carlisle, the Very Rev Mark Boyling, said:

“We are delighted to hear that the grant application has
been successful. This is the result of a lot of hard work
undertaken by members of the Cathedral team; my thanks
go to them and to the funding body.
“No one could have foreseen the impact that the
coronavirus pandemic would have on all manner of things;
indeed that impact continues today. Like so many others,
the Fratry Project was affected by the various lockdowns
and restrictions we have experienced. I give thanks that this
money secures its long-term future and ensures it will
